I know I annoy many with my optimistic takes on things, but honestly it's how I'm built. Did wonders for fighting cancer!

You certainly don't annoy me with your positive takes. Plenty of it is insightful when you provide advanced stats to back up your takes. It would be pretty boring here if the discussions were one-sided. Besides not all is bad with the organization as there are some good young prospects, nice roster players, and a new arena on the horizon. I mainly have issues with the direction of the team as well as some of the decisions made by the GM. The team missing the playoffs last season and only one second round appearance to show for 7 years of Treliving is the facts. I have seen some comparing the Flames record over Treliving's tenure and that's fine but the fact is that success has been limited and the goal of the team I thought was to win the Stanley Cup and not merely be better than Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, etc.
Treliving isn't going anywhere at the moment so these arguments are getting a little tiring as I'm getting tired of typing the same responses to the same counterpoints. I'm just hoping for the best here and hopefully this Eichel business runs its course so the team can move on one way or another as I feel the team is in a holding pattern. I would like to know what's the plan with Gaudreau and if there's possibly another non-Eichel move that can be done to improve the team as the Pacific is a weak division so the opportunity exists to salvage something from what's remaining of the core seeing it appears to be unchanged outside of the expansion draft move.
